STI Engineering has completed the manufacture and supply of a total of 175 x 250W VHF FLEX™ paging transmitters to upgrade a State Government Emergency simulcast paging network.

The overall project and ongoing services to upgrade and manage the State-wide radio network is handled by a third-party, and is valued at more than AUD$175 million.

The upgrade and management services will deliver considerable, long-term benefits to more than 20 public agencies that depend on the network to keep communities safe, including country and metropolitan fire services, police, ambulance and state emergency services. The network will provide 99.999% availability to emergency services and ensure teams can communicate reliably to coordinate responses, whether managing day-to-day operations or in times of crises.
